About

Saymail

Features
Read full description

Saymail is the AI email client that decides what actually deserves your attention — and what can wait. ONLY THE EMAIL THAT MATTERS, RIGHT WHEN IT MATTERS Most email matters for a moment, then it doesn't. Saymail's AI scores every message by importance — right now, and how that importance will fade — so today's urgent reminder doesn't keep haunting your inbox next week. A flash sale is dead weight by tomorrow; a signed contract still matters years later. Saymail knows the difference, so the slow-burn things never get buried and the noise quietly ages out on its own. LESS INBOX. MORE ATTENTION. Connect your email accounts and let the AI sort the noise so the message that matters rises to the top. Your unread badge lies about what's actually urgent — Saymail scores what's genuinely worth your attention right now, so a wall of unread mail becomes the handful that truly need you. STAY IN FOCUS Set the importance level you care about, and that becomes your filter. Only messages that clear your bar are allowed to notify you — everything else waits quietly until you're ready for it. YOU STAY IN CHARGE Saymail can draft replies for you, but nothing is ever sent without your review and your click. BUILT ON A DESKTOP APP THAT HAS ALREADY EARNED TRUST Saymail started as a privacy-first email client for Windows, macOS and Linux, and has passed Google's independent CASA Tier 2 security assessment — a hands-on review by TAC Security, not a self-graded checklist. The same AI-powered importance scoring now comes to iPhone and iPad. WHY PEOPLE TRUST SAYMAIL - Independently security-assessed (Google CASA Tier 2, verified by TAC Security) - Built by an EU company, GDPR-compliant - Bring your own AI: connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or run a model yourself — no lock-in to a single provider Saymail is free to download. Some AI features may require in-app credits or an optional subscription. Learn more at saymail.eu.
